Ways to save in Pasadena
- Stay with a 4-inch broom finish and spend the savings on proper base prep.
- Keep the driveway rectangular; curves and borders add forming labor.
- Combine your pour with a neighbor to share the truck and crew mobilization.
- Pour in spring or fall — summer schedules are booked and priced higher.
- Resurface rather than replace if the slab is structurally sound.
